Science reflection The project that interested me the most was the biome one. I liked it because I liked the climate I worked on and it was very interesting seeing different animals that lived in different areas. I found that I was interested in these places. I found out a lot about each biome, I saw some new plants, new animals, and tons of new things, and I was fascinated!
The information that I found in the biome project can help me in everyday life. If I became an environmentalist it could help me to understand the animals and their needs better. It could also help if you are just going on the trip to any of the areas to know the climate and animals so you can be safe and comfortable.
Ecological Concerns
More and more people are moving into the Tundra. The people come for the oil rigs and mines. The animals that live there are either shot or scared away. Animal’s dens may also be destroyed. The feeding patterns are disturbed and some animals will starve. There is a lot of pollution because of all of the drilling and mining. Tons of plants have died and when the sunlight hits the ruts the permafrost melts, this causes erosion and then the ruts get bigger. Eventually the ruts will turn into gullies. Tracks made in WW II have grown so large that some are now lakes. The Tundra also suffers from global warming.
Conservation Efforts
They made a pipeline that went from the top of Alaska to the bottom. They put it above the ground so it didn’t disturb the permafrost or disturb the migration of the caribou. Also they made sure that when they planted the pipeline that it didn’t crack and leak on the land and kill the plants. Go Home
